Description: Known distribution of key 'sponge garden' species in New Zealand. Presence of all sponge species from OBIS-NZ dataset.Sponges are a principal component of many rocky reef assemblages, especially below depths at which large algae can grow. They also occur across a range of soft sediment systems, where sufficient hard surfaces are available for initial attachment. Sponges occur all around New Zealand, from intertidal pools out to the deep abyssal plane (and in freshwater systems), with many species of wide-ranging size, form, colour and composition. New species continue to be described each year, with many places in the continental sea and wider EEZ yet to be well explored by science. As such, their national distribution is poorly described, and tends to be as point samples from general field surveys, rather than at the abundance and assemblage compositions scale.
